Televise & Locate

Televising and locating is a diagnostic process used to inspect the condition and layout of underground or concealed piping. A small, waterproof camera is fed through the drain line, transmitting real-time video to a monitor so technicians can identify issues such as blockages, cracks, root intrusion, offsets, corrosion, or collapsed sections. As the camera moves through the pipe, a locating device on the surface tracks its exact position and depth, allowing the precise location of any problem areas to be marked above ground. This process helps determine the cause of drainage issues and allows for accurate planning of repairs while minimizing unnecessary digging. 

Cable/Snaking

Cabling/Snaking is a method used to clear blockages from plumbing pipes by inserting a flexible, rotating cable with a cutting head attachment into the line. As the cable moves through the pipe, it breaks up, loosens, or pulls out obstructions such as grease buildup, hair, soap residue, roots, or debris that are restricting water flow. The cable is powered either manually or by a motor, allowing it to navigate bends in the pipe and reach clogs that aren’t accessible from the surface. Cabling helps restore proper drainage and is commonly used as a first step to resolve slow or backed-up drains. 

Smoke Test

A smoke test is a diagnostic procedure used to identify leaks, cracks, or improper connections within a plumbing or sewer system. Non-toxic, artificially generated smoke is blown into the drain lines under low pressure, filling the system. If there are defects in the pipes, the smoke will escape through breaks, loose joints, or illegal connections and become visible above ground or inside a structure. This allows technicians to pinpoint problem areas that may be causing odors, leaks, or drainage issues, making it an effective way to locate hidden defects without excavation. 

Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is a cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to thoroughly remove buildup and obstructions from the inside of plumbing pipes. A specialized hose with a multi-directional nozzle is inserted into the drain line, releasing powerful water streams that scour the pipe walls and flush out grease, sludge, mineral deposits, roots, and other debris. Unlike basic snaking, hydro jetting cleans the full diameter of the pipe, helping restore optimal flow and reduce the likelihood of future clogs. It is commonly used for both routine maintenance and severe blockages in residential and commercial drain systems. 

Sump Pump Installation

Installing a sump pump involves placing a pump system in a sump basin to help prevent water accumulation and flooding in basements or crawl spaces. The process includes excavating a pit at the lowest point where water collects, setting a sump basin in the hole, and connecting the pump to the incoming drainage and discharge piping. The pump is designed to activate automatically when water reaches a certain level, pumping excess water away from the structure to a safe discharge location. Proper installation ensures effective groundwater control, reduces the risk of water damage, and helps protect the foundation from moisture-related issues. 

Trenchless Solutions

Pipe Patch:  A pipe patch is a repair method used to seal localized damage within an existing pipe without replacing the entire section. The process involves cleaning the damaged area and installing a resin-soaked patch or liner that is positioned over the crack, hole, or joint separation. Once in place, the patch cures and hardens, forming a durable, watertight seal that restores the integrity of the pipe. Pipe patching is a minimally invasive solution that helps prevent leaks, root intrusion, and further deterioration while extending the service life of the drain line.


Sewer Lining:  Sewer lining repair, also known as cured-in-place pipe lining, is a trenchless method used to repair or replace damaged sewer lines without the need for full excavation. The process involves inserting a flexible liner saturated with a resin into the existing pipe. Once in position, the liner is inflated and cured in place, forming a new, solid pipe inside the old one. This method is ideal for repairing cracks, leaks, root intrusion, corrosion, and minor offsets in sewer lines. Sewer lining restores structural integrity, improves flow, and extends the life of the pipe for decades. Because it uses existing access points, it significantly reduces disruption to yards, landscaping, driveways, and buildings, making it a cost-effective and minimally invasive alternative to traditional sewer replacement. 


Pipe Bursting:  Pipe bursting is a trenchless drain repair method used to replace damaged or deteriorated underground pipes without extensive digging. Instead of excavating the entire pipe run, a specialized bursting head is pulled through the existing pipe. As it moves forward, the head fractures the old pipe outward into the surrounding soil while simultaneously pulling a new, seamless pipe into place behind it. This process is commonly used for repairing collapsed, cracked, root-invaded, or severely corroded drain and sewer lines. Because it requires only small access points at the beginning and end of the pipe, pipe bursting minimizes disruption to landscaping, driveways, sidewalks, and structures. The result is a brand-new pipe with improved flow capacity and long-term durability, installed efficiently with less mess and downtime compared to traditional excavation methods
